Aim: As oral rehabilitation of tooth agenesis usually begins at a very young age, it is important to plan the therapy in advance in order to prepare the patient for the final treatment after the end of skeletal and dental growth. The diverse patterns of tooth agenesis require interdisciplinary oral rehabilitation adapted to individual factors like patient's age, number of missing teeth, and alveolar-bone development. The aim of the present high volume single-center study was to provide an overview of the management of patients with tooth agenesis, in terms of treatment approaches, associations, and long-term implant survival, over a period of 30 years.
Methods: Descriptive analyses were performed to analyse treatment approaches and and how they reated to severity of agenesis as well as patients' gender and age. Kaplan-Meier survival curves and log-rank-tests were used to investigate implant survival over time.
Conclusion: Treatment starts usually in childhood or adolescence; orthodontic therapy was the most common treatment. All treatment options showed similar high survival rates. External bone augmentation might be a risk-factor for implant loss.

Negotiation of the intricate pulp canal space may pose a challenge in endodontic treatment. Consequently, appropriate diagnosis and thorough knowledge of the pattern and distribution of root canal systems are imperative for a more predictable outcome in the treatment of pulp diseases. Accordingly, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is deemed appropriate as an adjunctive diagnostic tool in endodontics.

BACKGROUND Cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD) is a rare (1: 1 000 000) autosomal dominant congenital skeletal dysplasia characterized by widely patent calvarial sutures, clavicular hypoplasia, supernumerary teeth, and short stature. Only a minority of the cases are diagnosed early after birth. We present another case of proven CCD presenting with typical neonatal phenotype to promote awareness of this rare disorder.

: Chemotherapy (CMT) in children can disrupt dental development and calcification, causing long-term dental issues, but good dental care and habits can help improve quality of life. This case report examines permanent dental disturbances in a 7-year, 4-month-old girl undergoing CMT, explores the histology of microdontia, and outlines an oral treatment plan for CMT management. : Clinical examination revealed microdontia and a groove crossing the cervical area (chronological hypoplasia), which were assessed using panoramic radiographs and histological analysis.

Background: Nance-Horan syndrome (NHS) is a rare, frequently underdiagnosed, X-linked disease caused by mutations in the NHS gene. In males, it causes bilateral dense pediatric cataracts, dental anomalies, and facial dysmorphisms. Females traditionally have a more subtle phenotype with discrete lens opacities as an isolated feature.

Dental agenesis is the congenital absence of at least one tooth and has been associated with several other developmental dental conditions, such as morphological dental alterations and Carabelli trait. This study sought to investigate whether third molar agenesis is associated with Carabelli traits in permanent molars. : This was a cross-sectional study that used a convenience sample obtained from the orthodontic records of German patients.
